Project Catalyst Forum 2019

Be in Cairns for the Forum

The Project Catalyst Annual Grower Forum, is a highly anticipated event for sugarcane growers from across the three partner regions of the Wet Tropics, Burdekin, and Mackay Whitsunday.

It’s an opportunity to network with researchers, program partners and industry groups, sharing knowledge and discussing new ideas. The forum also allows us to thank Project Catalyst growers for their hard work, dedication, enthusiasm and enquiring minds, without whom there would be no program.

In Cairns the program will include farmers, agricultural leaders, and soil health experts who’ll provide a glimpse of what the future holds to assist you. Ten years on from humble beginnings, the growing Catalyst family celebrates achievements, participants and invites each of you to identify potential candidates to join us in our efforts to improve water quality, increase productivity and be more sustainable for future generations.

Monday February 25 to Tuesday February 26, 2019!
An early check-in & Welcome Function will be held Sunday February 24 afternoon from 5pm for those eager to reconnect.
